  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: No match for Kraken

    Tarasov stopped 19 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Tarasov took his fifth loss in his last six outings, and this was not a pretty performance. The Kraken got goals from all over the lineup, including four from the bottom six and one from a defenseman. Tarasov is down to 9-11-2 with a 2.96 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. He's alternated starts with Sergei Bobrovsky for most of March, and if the Panthers keep that pattern going, it would essentially be a white flag on their title defense. The Panthers' next game is an easy one Tuesday in Vancouver.

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Bounces back with win

    Daccord stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

    Daccord was a little better than that stat line suggests -- the Panthers' second goal came just before the final buzzer. The Kraken never trailed in the game, allowing Daccord to break out of a three-game skid in which he allowed 13 goals on 78 shots. The 29-year-old netminder improved to 19-16-5 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 40 appearances. With both Daccord and Philipp Grubauer coming off wins, it's not clear which goalie will get the nod for Tuesday's tough home matchup versus the Lightning.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Fares well despite loss

    Annunen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Juuse Saros typically struggles against Edmonton, so the Predators turned to Annunen for this game. Despite the loss, the 26-year-old put in a good effort to keep the game close, but his teammates didn't give him enough support. Annunen is 2-3-0 with 11 goals allowed on 122 shots over his last five appearances. For the season, the Finnish netminder is 6-9-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 21 outings, numbers mostly in line with what he did last year. Expect Saros to get the nod versus the Jets on Tuesday.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Steady in win

    Ingram stopped 26 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

    Ingram limited the damage to a Fedor Svechkov goal in the third period. With just eight goals allowed over his last four contests, Ingram has settled in at a better level and has taken the reins as the Oilers' top goalie over Tristan Jarry. The 28-year-old Ingram improved to 10-6-2 on the year with a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 21 appearances. The Oilers' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Sharks.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Loses to Toronto

    Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he isn't playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Fends off Wild

    Stolarz allowed two goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    The Maple Leafs' three-goal second period was enough support for Stolarz to snap his five-game winless stretch. The 32-year-old had to work for it, but he looked sharp against a good opponent. He's up to 8-9-3 with a 3.34 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 22 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs haven't been able to establish a hot hand in net, so Stolarz and Joseph Woll will likely continue to split the playing time.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Facing Florida

    Daccord is getting the start at home Sunday against the Panthers, according to Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.

    Daccord has dropped his last three outings, allowing a total of 13 goals on 78 shots (.833 save percentage) in losses to Ottawa, Nashville and Colorado. Overall, the 29-year-old has an 18-16-5 record, 2.92 GAA and .901 save percentage over 39 outings in 2025-26. Daccord will face a Florida squad that has scored nine goals during its three-game winning streak.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Set to start in Alberta

    Annunen is drawing the start for Sunday's game in Edmonton, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Annunen's last start was March 3 in Columbus -- he allowed three goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 loss. The 26-year-old is 6-8-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. Edmonton is tied for second in the NHL with 3.51 goals per game in 2025-26 and will have Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) back in the lineup Sunday.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Drawing start in Montreal

    Dostal will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canadiens, according to the NHL media site.

    Dostal will get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Ville Husso occupied the crease in Saturday's 2-0 loss in Ottawa. The Canadiens are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 4-2 at home against the Sharks on Saturday. Dostal earned a win against the Canadiens in Anaheim on March 6, but he gave up five goals on 28 shots in that game. Moreover, Dostal has conceded exactly five goals in four of his last seven appearances.

  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Between pipes in Seattle

    Tarasov will defend the road cage Sunday in Seattle, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Tarasov picked up his first win since Jan. 25 against the Red Wings on Tuesday, stopping 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 win. The 26-year-old owns a 9-10-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. The Kraken have struggled lately, but they snapped their four-game losing streak in Vancouver on Saturday in a 5-2 victory. Seattle is tied for 23rd in the NHL with 2.83 goals per game and is 16-13-5 on home ice in 2025-26.
